Nikki better than RB Holley 465????
Which carb. would be better for daily driving and getting a good avg. gas mileage, But still have good power??? I'm running a holley 465 and have a pretty decent amount of power
. But, the down side is that im only averaging around 15 to 16 mpg.
I have read that a stripped nikki gets good mileage but takes away from the power. which would be the better choice???

With a stock port 12A any of these carbs tuned right (Nikki, Holley, Weber, Dell)
should get you around 22-23 highway and 17 city.
You need to work on tuning your carb better and also don't forget a lot of other
things can contribute to mileage; ignition system, cooling system, tire pressures,
vacuum leaks etc.
